The first phase of the project which lasted one year involved two summer camps and integrated conflict resolution training with artistic workshops in drawing, theater, music, and film. After the two summer camps held in August 2014, the mixed team of Syrian and Lebanese artists traveled across the 8 communities to conduct follow-up workshops to develop with the youth creative outlets resulting in the production of videos, the writing of songs, the performance of a theatrical play, and the creation of comic strips, all with the aim of reaching out to the rest of the community and spreading the message of tolerance and acceptance of the other.

Equipped with the necessary tools for alternative models of thinking and behavior while building their confidence, the youth will be capable of promoting a dialogue based upon narratives of tolerance and peace, allowing them to become ambassadors for positive change and conflict transformation, thus ultimately mitigating tensions within their respective communities.
